Site Context 1.2 The site location and its surroundings are illustrated on Plan 1: Site Location. 1.3 The site is located within the parish of Dunley, on the western settlement edge of Astley Cross, and within the administrative boundaries of the Wyre Forest District. 1.4 The western edge of Stourport-on-Severn and the site area sit within an area of rolling topography, that rises from the lower lying land adjacent to the River Severn, forming a crescent shaped bowl of rolling hills to the north, west and south. The landform across the site slopes up from 40m AOD in the south to 50m AOD in the north where it forms a plateau for much of the northern area. 1.5 The topography and rising landform across the site generally reflects that to the east upon which the adjacent settlement edge is built. To the southwest of the site, the land begins to slope up again towards the hillside beyond. 1.6 The site covers approximately 15.07 hectares of arable fields surrounded on all four sides by native hedgerows and a 5-10m wide tree belt comprising predominantly semi-mature Silver Birch and Scots Pine. An established hedgerow including scattered mature Oak trees delineate the remnant field pattern across the site. There are also portions of metal estate fencing remaining on site following sections of the field boundaries. A single free standing oak tree is situated within a field to the south of the site.

This includes the following: - Establish the existing nature of the landscape and visual environment in the study area; - Provides a description of the proposed development, identifying the main features of the proposals and the changes that will occur; and - Systematically identifies and describes the effects that are likely to occur, including whether they are adverse or beneficial. 1.10 The approach taken in the preparation of this report is considered to be appropriate and proportional in the context of the professional guidance published by the Landscape Institute. 1.11 Professional judgement plays an important role in the landscape and visual analysis process where the analysis of landscape character and visual amenity is both a subjective and objective process. However, the analysis process seeks to provide a narrative to explain the judgement reached.
